STDM is back!

"Dragonfly" is a sweet and creamy piece of fluff rock, and the next instalment in Jeff's series of "Insect Songs". Last summer sitting by the lake, minding my own business, a shiny green dragonfly came and perched itself on my baseball cap. He stayed there for a while, enjoying the ride! This tune is for that little critter, a fine ambassador for summer... and kind of my favorite insect as of late :)
 
Jeff McCarthy lyrics, vocals, highland bagpipe, irish whistle, piano and synths

Guy Mauseth @duke21 is on bass, (using JamUp with the "Dun Aenghus Deep" amp!) and special guest 

Colin Powell @alter-ego-uk, does the honours on guitars.

Apps used include Tonestack, JamUp, THOR, Guitarism, GarageBand, Figure, Audio Mastering...

Dragonfly

A one-man, iOS, Cybernetic, Mutagenic, Electro-Celtic Fusion Wonder band. "They could clone Dolly but they couldn't clone ME...!" 

Welcome to the world of 

Supersonic Tartan Death Machine (STDM) = Bagpipe-Driven Electro-Celtic Fusion. I call it "électrocelte". Recorded @ BearCave Studios Montreal using an iPad + iPhone + a host of awesome iOS apps.

Instruments used include: Great Highland Bagpipe, Border Pipes, John Walsh Shuttle Pipes, Practice Chanter, Irish Whistle in A, B flat,and D, Bombarde, Voice. 

Tech Tools used include: CME X-key 25 MIDI Controller, iPad, iPhone, Zoom H6, iRig HD, Propellerhead Balance, Sennheiser Dynamic headphones. 

Apps used include (amongst others)Animoog, Audacity, Audiobus, Audioshare, Audio Mastering, Beatmaker 2, BeatTime, dJay, Figure, FourTrack, Glitchbreaks, Impaktor, Korg Gadget, Logic Pro X, NanoStudio, ReMaster, Reason 8, Samplr, studio.HD, SunVox, THOR, ThumbJam, Turnado and of course GarageBand for iOS.

Music: the music and stylings are widely varied. From traditional tunes to self-composed original bagpipe compositions, to covers of popular Scottish songs, or even rock songs. There really are no limits... new ideas are churning through my mind almost weekly. Some tunes start off with a bagpipe tune. Others start off with a few beats worked out on an iOS device. I often sing new tunes to myself, record them on my iOS device and then write them down... and the creative process continues...

DISCLAIMER: if I do not follow back on SoundCloud do not be offended, I usually WILL follow back people with sounds. If you have ZERO SOUNDS I do not usually follow back. Sorry about that! I still absolutely acknowledge your existence AND appreciate your support.

I also run my tracks from my musical alter-ego @elfpants on this account because for some reason SoundCloud doesn't allow multiple artist accounts on a Pro account... 

Lastly, I am member of Celtic Prog Rock Trio "Dun Aenghus" and of "Whatever The Majority Decides" (see links). The work I have done with these groups is also posted on my page. I have done a bit of writing lyrics, singing, playing Irish Whistle and Highland Pipes for Dun Aenghus, and singing and lyric writing for WTMD. Great fun!!

Thanks for stopping by. Nathan :)

A combination of progrock muscle and theatrical, unapologetic bombast turned Atom for Infants into progrock royalty in a parallel universe. Originally comprised of Kal Al and The Associates the group formed during a late night noodling session on a whim.

I've been a musician for almost 30 years. I started as a guitarist, began to  write my own songs, formed my first band and so on.

A few years ago I was in a situation, where I enjoyed some small and local success  and played occasional concerts with singer-songwriter stuff in my  native language-bavarian, in the south of Germany, were the oktoberfest is.

 So far so good, but more and more I got the feeling that I have been on the same  road  for much too long, it became monotonous and i felt. nothing new, thus it began to bore me.

Then came iOS. I bought an used 3rd generation iPod touch and someone told me that it  was possible to make music with that device.

 I started with nanostudio ,the 
whole thing was so inspiring and music came to me. I was able to go in a direction i always liked but never made myself: Electronic stuff in the 
tradition of Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre and people like that. 

At the beginning of this year I tried something else...

 Peter Gabriels "Passion" 
was always a record I loved very much. So I tried to integrate world music samples into my tracks and well...it worked.

So that's where I am today, I've just released my first E.P. on bandcamp 
(martinneuhold.bandcamp.com if you're interested) , and I'm working on an album in that direction, but I'm not restricted to the ethnic/ambient thing. 

I'd say my music is an external manifestation of what resounds in my spirit, my inner self if you will. I don't just want to make music that sounds good, I aspire to make my listeners feel good too:)

Artists I like went in many different directions (Peter Gabriel, Neil Young) and  I want to do that too.  I am just curious as to where my road may take me! I feel the possibilities are endless..


All of these songs have been contributed towards FAWM and were written and produced by me
